I'm using an E-Flite Power 160. Initially I had an EMax, which I'll never support again - magnets came off in flight repeatedly and after sales service is non existing.

It's done many, many flights since. Going strong.

Great :-D How many cameras/sensors you can fit in it and how log is the flight with current power setup?

I've had 3 cameras onboard once, with just one I get just about 2 hours.

Three is more than enough. With 2 hours flight at 300m alt. may be can cover up to 600ha. area in one mission.

600ha is exactly right! That's what I can achieve at 100m at 80kph.

If at 100m alt. and your cameras is 20MP or high quality capability that's really impressive output can be achived (Orthophoto & DSM). If you can have a test with advance sensors like NRGB cameras (like satellite sensor) also lidar sensor would be very very good. At the moment I only use canon s100 cameras but looking forward to test other sensors in future when I have budget for it. :-D
